The signal handler (that receives signals from the OS) in Python starts
with a check
if (getpid() == main_pid)
Looking at the comments, the intent was to do a check for the main
*thread* but this is checking the *process* id. So this condition is
basically always true. Therefore, I suggest to remove it in
https://bugs.python.org/issue36601
If you have any objections or comments, I suggest to post them to that bpo.
Jeroen.
